OpenDNS on the TL-WDR3500
Region : UnitedKingdom
Model : TL-WDR3500
Hardware Version : V1
Firmware Version : 3.13.26 Build 130129 Rel.62787n
ISP : Virgin Media
Hi All
Is it possible to set up OpenDNS on a TL-WDR3500 router?
I had OpenDNS set up and working fine on my old router, but can't get it going on this replacement. I have entered the Primary and Secondary DNS as listed, and set the Host Name to the same as the LABEL set up in my settings here. but when I reboot the router I can't access any sites until I revert to the ISP's default DNS servers. My IP is showing as the same as in my OpenDNS settings attached to the afore mentioned LABEL, the same happens regardless of setting dyndns in the router or not. I'm in the UK if that makes any difference.
Any ideas?

I had same when configuring ne new router up yesterday.
Don't set under "LAN Settings" (unless you have local DNS servers). You want DNS requests to go out to the WAN through your LAN default gateway (the TP-link router)
Edit the ADSL WAN Interface settings and put in OpenDNS settings there.
My problem is that after time my W8968 gets bad connectivity to DNS servers (diags fail on ping primary DNS) and I have to reboot to get them back.
Look out for this....
Here are openDNS settings on router now:
